ugh - still waiting on decision here... did they call your primary phone/home or cell number? I know I am making myself crazy but headed into lab - phone off for next few hours! Best to those who got in too!

Nope, it was a VERY perfunctory call. My numbers are above their medians and the admissions person actually sounded surprised I was so enthusiastic, it was pretty funny. I'm definitely interested in what their offer is.

I got a similar response last week about raising scholarship $$. Is it wishful thinking to double deposit in the hope that BU would increase scholarship $$? Right now I have 15k from BU and 18k from BC.

If you're looking to practice in Boston, you should go to BC over BU. Hands down.

I should add that BU explicitly said they don't match. I bet you could get a few more $$$ out of BC though.
